Chapter 197 Bat
No one hesitated, no one hesitated. Everyone present was an adventurer who had experienced countless life and death tests. The rich adventure experience allowed them to know when to do what to do. Therefore, when Panis called out the word "raising a shield", everyone raised a wooden shield almost at the same time. Although most people did not undergo orthodox shield training, the posture of holding a shield was very unstandard. If they really faced the enemy's attack, close-range attacks would probably be easily picked up by the enemy or bypassed the shield defense. The long-range attack would be stabbed by arrows like arrows. Fortunately, the enemy's attack was not substantial. You only need to lift the wooden shield over your head and protect the only face and neck exposed in important parts.
There was still no sound, and there was no impact on the shield, but the girls suddenly had a strange feeling, as if something invisible was sweeping past them, and as if their bodies had crossed an invisible barrier. As for Panis, after rolling away from the spot, he suddenly threw a one-handed sword into the air, gritting his teeth and saying fiercely: "Catch you now."
It seemed that a round of attack had passed. Catherine slightly deflected her shield, revealing an eye to look in the direction of Panis throwing a one-handed sword in the air. Just a few dozen meters away from the team, a huge creature hung upside down on the tree canopy, and two shiny eyes were staring at the people in the team.
"Bat?" Right next to Catherine, Lina could not change her curious nature no matter how much, and she couldn't help but poke an eye out from behind the shield and looked at the large creature hanging upside down on the canopy of twenty meters high.
The title the priest girl called out was not wrong. It was indeed like a bat, a giant bat that had been magnified dozens of times. The giant bat was gray-black, with a pile of huge flesh wings wrapped around her body like a cloak. A pair of sharp claws grew at the end of the lower limbs, and the hooked claws clung tightly on the tree trunk, leaving several sharp scratches on the trunk. Its head was very similar to a mouse, and the only difference was that two white fangs were exposed at the corner of its grinning mouth. The hollow fangs bent slightly forward, and a blood-red light appeared at the tip. The only difference from the ordinary bat is that there was a raised sarcoma growing on its chest. It seemed to be filled with gas, which undulates with its breathing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a giant bat, because its body length is more than two meters. If it stands upright on the ground, it is much taller than an adult male. If calculated based on the ratio of an ordinary bat, its wing width may be close to five meters. It is hard to imagine how such a creature can fly in the dense forest.
"Roar~~~" The giant bat suddenly spread its wings, slapped the sword thrown by Panis, and opened his mouth at the same time. A huge roar was spit out of its mouth. The roar expanded several times through the resonance of the airbag on its chest, spreading around like thunder. The huge sound roared, and even the leaves around it were affected, and large areas of falling in the roar. The girls couldn't help frowning. The roar not only made the girls' eardrums and their heartbeats accelerate, but also made them feel that everything around them was rotating, as if they might roar to the next one at any time.
There is no need for Panis to remind him that when he saw the giant bat's airbags start to twitch again, the girls quickly hid back in the protection of the wooden shield. Sure enough, another huge roar was heard, but this time it was a little different. In this roar, the girls felt something pass by again. Of course, it was not really something passed, it was just a feeling, just like the feeling of a breeze blowing across their cheeks.
This time, the strange attack appeared at the same time with a roar, and no one knew. The giant bat clearly had only one mouth, so how did it make two different sounds of attack. Of course, there was no need to know these. Before the roar ended, Flar threw away the wooden shield and rolled away from the spot in a series of ways against the ground. During the rolling process, every time the rolling circle was rolling, a feather arrow shot out from different angles. It was hard to imagine how Her Majesty the Queen pulled the hunting bow while curled up.
Unlike when Pannis hurriedly threw out the one-handed sword, this time the giant bat obviously could not handle the attack of Her Majesty the Queen so leisurely. In the mortal world, no creature dared to face Her Majesty's feather arrow without any defense. The giant bat was no exception. Therefore, the huge roar stopped abruptly and turned into a harsh scream. The giant bat showed a look of panic on its mouse-like face. The feet holding the branches suddenly loosened, and under the action of gravity, the body quickly fell down, just avoiding Flar's shooting. Halfway down, the giant bat suddenly spread its gray-black flesh wings and flew out at a strange angle. The flight trajectory was erratic, making it difficult to predict its next position.
"Hiss, I still want to run after causing so much trouble?" In Alcmene's raised eyes, the yellow-green vertical pupils shrank into a slit, and habitually swept the forked tongue and made a hissing sound. At a strange rhythm, three spears were thrown out intermittently, and the voice was cold: "In the eyes of the hunter, any struggle and escape of yours is ridiculous. Hiss, since you dare to appear in front of us, be prepared to accept death."
Although the giant bat has a huge body, it is extremely flexible to fly. Whenever something flies across the path, it can react in advance and turn to the side at a seemingly impossible angle, causing Flar's arrows and Arcmene's spear to fall continuously.
However, the two experienced hunters did not seem to be surprised by this. The biggest characteristic of bat creatures is that they have amazing evasion ability for attacks, so it is too normal for the attack to fail. The two ladies looked at each other and smiled, they launched a collaborative attack together.
Arcmene threw out the fourth spear, and Flar shot three feather arrows again. The high priest's spear shot straight towards the path that the giant bat in the air was about to arrive. The bat let out another sharp scream, slightly deflecting to one side before the spear arrived, and obstructing the spear to avoid the attack, and continued to plan to escape the sight of the expedition team without changing direction. However, there was also Her Majesty's arrow, the target of the arrow was not the giant bat, but the flying spear. Three feather arrows hit the tail of the spear in succession, causing the spear to turn the direction in the air and penetrated hard behind the giant bat.
